Puffy lips are often the result of allergic reactions. These allergic reactions can lead to a condition that causes short-term swelling to occur beneath the surface of the skin, a condition known as angioedema. Puffy or swollen lips may also be caused by other conditions, such as an infection, injury, or certain hereditary conditions.
Swelling of the lips can arise due to different conditions. Trauma or injury to the lip and mouth area is an obvious cause of swollen lips. Allergic reactions, either to foods, medications, or other substances, can often be accompanied by swelling of the lips. This may be accompanied by other allergic symptoms, such as hives and itching. Angioedema is a condition in which there is swelling of the tissue beneath the skin, and this is often concentrated around the eyes and lips.
